Why is it 'racist' to criticise criminality, when it is the social commentator who notices that the criminality which is being referred to, is occurring among a certain ethnic or 'religious' group ?
It isn't, imo.
But imo, many, many social commentators [pseudo journalists] in this country are comfortably deceitful people.
And imo, they are people who are lily livered moral blancmanges, who should not be afforded the privilege of being employed in the media sector.
They are just career 'blancmanges'.
Not journalists.
In the media sector, we need more [investigative?] journalists.
And less lily livered moral blancmanges, pretending to be.
But i'm not holding my breath.
Take a good look at Yadda's post. Now it's problematic I know to use Yadda as an example because he has such a scattological style at the best of times. But it's symptomatic that he's unable to seperate criminality from race. That's the main problem and it is a problem, and it is evident in other comments here.
Say there's a bout of shop lifting going on. Now I would posit that the incidence of shoplifting is fairly low in any ethnicity. The vast majority of people are honest. Now you might have ten members of class X get caught on the trot, (and five might be the same person), but if you start viewing all members of class X as shoplifters what do you think will happen? There's nothing that puts peoples backs up like being falsely accused. You make class X angry, depressed and alienated and then you will certainly reap what you sow. Racism is stupid because those that practice it have absolutely nothing to gain from it.
